雅思口语考试的考官悉心建议
雅思考官是些什么人?
雅思考试由英国剑桥大学测试中心The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate-UCLES、澳大利亚高校国际开发署IDP Education Australia和英国文化委员会The British Council共同举办。在中国，他们委托中国雅思工作网络(China IELTS Network)和英国大使馆文化教育处专设的考试部招募雅思考官。
雅思考官必须是母语为英语的国家的大学毕业生，受过英语教师的系统培训，有教学经验。我入选，就因为我有10年教学经验———在日本教了4年书，在澳大利亚教了5年书，又在中国教了1年。具备了这些硬指标，我们还得接受一个周末的考官培训———了解雅思考试的概况。此外，我们上岗前要接受写作和听力测试，这种测试不是“一考定终身”的，今后每2年都要接受一次这样的测试。
最重要的是，雅思考官的道德水准必须经得起考验、值得信赖。如果在考试时遇到自己教过的学生，雅思考官一定会向考试部提出“回避”，要求找人接替自己的工作。一般来说，雅思考官不教雅思课程，即使教，也不能批改学员的模拟试卷，更不能在模拟口语测试时给学员打分——这些都要靠自觉。
雅思口试，有没有“标准口音”?
中国学生在准备雅思口试时，常会问“考官喜欢怎样的口音?”其实，雅思口语考试没有所谓的“标准口音”，考生没必要非去模仿标准的英国英语(the standard Queens English)。考生带口音，只要不影响考官对你的回答的理解，就没有关系。
依我看，中国考生最大的问题在于发音。中文和英文的发音方式很不一样，中文基本都以元音结尾，英文则有很多单词以辅音结尾。比如book这个词，应该以k这个辅音结尾，但很多学生不自觉地会加上个元音;又如spelt这个单词，其中有两处两个辅音连在一起发音，有的中国学生就不会发了，一定要在两个辅音当中加个元音。
再有就是哪些单词的发音该轻哪些该重，中国学生不很注意。比如一句：My mother is an aircraft engineer.其中的mother、aircraft、engineer三个词是句子的灵魂，必须重读突出，而其他词只是用来连接整句句子的，要轻读。在这个句子里，还有连读，这也是中国学生容易忽略的。忽略连读，发音会显得很生硬。
多看报听广播、多记鲜活词语
很多人说，中国学生的英文阅读能力很强，我不同意。我看过中国大学英语四、六级考试的词汇手册，其中很多词是老的，甚至是死的、废弃不用了的。照这样的手册背记单词，又能得到多好的学习效果呢?而且，我看外面在卖的很多英语练习手册，都是用一小段一小段的文章在训练阅读能力，这太不够了。
这个毛病会反映在口语考试中：考生回答问题，用的是老词、死词。所以我建议大家多读一些英文报纸，报纸文章里用的都是鲜活的词，而且报纸报道的内容广泛，所用词语的量和面因此也非常广泛，拿它做活教材，最好不过了。
再有，我发现中国考生听力练习不够。反映在口语测试中，就是使用的句式非常简单，而且很难在最短的时间里集中注意力来理解考官的提问。还是要多听广播，听长文章，而不是一句句短小的对话，有些听力训练的磁带，用的不是真实的句子，不是日常生活中使用的句子，这对参加雅思考试的学生，没有很大的帮助。
千万不要背诵“标准答案”
我想强调，我绝对不愿听考生背诵答案。现在冒出了很多所谓雅思口试的“标准答案”，可每个考官对考生的提问不可能一样，“标准答案”又如何能做到“标准”呢?这就像你们听人家演讲一样，他是背诵出来的，还是即兴发挥讲出来的，区别太明显了。有一次，我的一个考生因为太紧张，连“标准答案”的顺序都记错了。
我不知道为什么很多考生答非所问。如果你词汇量不够，我可以理解，但如果因为没有听懂题目而胡乱回答，就太可惜了———其实，你完全可以要求考官复述一遍题目，或者解释一下，因为有的题目确实是考生从没考虑过的，提这样的要求是合理的，不会被扣分。
有的考生干脆不回答问题。我们的提问并不会涉及个人隐私，因此不存在不方便回答的情况。就算你口语不好，用中式英语回答总比不回答好吧?这些问题也没有标准答案，只要把个人观点有头有尾说清楚就可以了，你的回答和考官的意见可以不相同，这不会被扣分。 但是，千万不要犯太小儿科的语法错误。
评分有时会复核
考试结束时，不要问“我会得几分?”之类的问题，即便我已经给你打好了分数，也不会告诉你。
雅思口语考试是主观打分，因此，雅思主办机构为保证打分公正、准确做了大量工作。一般来说，如果一个考生前三项(听力、阅读、写作)的得分是6分，而口语是4分或者8分，考试主办方会在10天到两个星期后，再请高一级别的考官复听一遍考生口语考试当天的录音，重新打分。
分数不理想(较低)，不要急着再去考
如果没有得到理想分数，不要在3个月后再次参加雅思考试。一般来说，在短短3个月里，某个人的成绩不可能明显提高，再次应考只是浪费时间和精力。
雅思口语Part2话题高分范文:place to relax
Topic:
Describe a place to relax.
You should say ：
where the place is
What is it like
how to spend time there
explain why you can relax there.
Sample answer:
When I want to have a rest,I usually go to the rooftop of my dormitory building. Several iron tubes above the floor which is covered by small red tiles ， and the rooftop is surrounded by one meter tall wall. For most occasions,it is clean and quite,so that I can stand there leaning the wall or sit on the floor without anything going through my mind. The day time is longer during the summer,so when I leave the class,I can go to the rooftop to see the beautiful sunset and enjoy the cool wind. In the winter,I usually go there during midday so I can bath myself with the warm sunshine.Even if the weather was cloudy or foggy, the mountains and trees around would clear your mind.
Sometimes I go there with my friends. We can have a little chat,complaining,gossiping.If we don't have class or work tomorrow,we may have a little party on the rooftop. Some people will carry chairs and tables to the rooftop;the others go to buy some snacks and drinks,so we can have fun and release our stress together.
雅思口语Part3话题范文:book you want to read
1Q. What types of weather do people in your country dislike most? Why is that?
Answer: In England, it rains all the time and it's really cold here on such days. I think that most people hate when it's raining and windy at the same time, because apart from the fact that they can't see anything and want to move forward, the pressure of the wind makes them go backwards. Something else that really gets me on my nerves is that my clothes get wet and I can't use my umbrella because of the wind.
Tip: You can also say that you don't like the hot weather or even the snow. Just think of the weather in your country and mention which is the worst one for you.
Q.How do rainy days make you feel?
Answers A) Well! Along with rain drops, rainy days bring ecstatic changes around us. We can enjoy variety of dishes sitting at home and seeing rain drops makes us feel blissful indeed. The precept outside elevates our mood. The tiny drops of water seem wrapping the happiness around them and more likely tend to be the lifeline for vegetation, along with sheer boon to draught prone areas and deserts.
Answers B) Frankly speaking, I feel slightly uneasy during rainy days. It’s muddiness all around the street and every class of society gets the day to day life affected due to mud and water gathered all around. Sometimes heavy rainfall halts the life and people don’t even have proper access to household commodities. From transportation to electricity everything has ceased to be stopped. In rainy season not only the quality of drinking water gets worse but also untimely rain affects our vegetation adversely. Many diseases like Malaria, Hepatitis and Diarrhea etc. also spread their tentacles during this weather.
Q. What jobs can be affected by different weather conditions? Why?
Answer: It seems to me that different weather conditions can affect different occupations. Builders and farmers are negatively affected if it rains heavily. For example, if the weather is rainy people who works outside cannot work properly. Pilots and ice-cream sellers are two other professions that are affected by bad weather as well. In the first case, rain, snow and wind have a great impact on schedules while for the ice cream sellers, the volume of sales and whole business depends on the season and weather.
Q. Are there any important festivals in your country that celebrate a season or type of weather?
Answer: I cannot recall such festivals or celebrations in my country. However, I am certain in many countries this is quite a common trend to celebrate different weathers and seasons. For instance, the first day of the year, Rainy season, Autumn and Spring are often celebrated in India and Bangladesh. If we look back in our history, our ancestors mostly celebrated different festivals which were based on different seasons and weathers.
Tip: Think of different kinds of festivals in your own country and mention few of them and how they are celebrated.
If there is no such festivals in your country, simply state that this types of festivals are not celebrated in your country. Just remember, if the answer is negative, don't be upset that you said very few words. As mentioned, not all of your answers can be extended.
Q. How important do you think it is for everyone to check what the next day’s weather will be? Why?
Answer: It's very necessary to know the weather forecast because people should know the type of clothes they should put on. For example, if it's going to rain, they'll wear boots, jacket and of course take an umbrella with them. In addition, it's important for the means of transport they are going to use, for instance, if they want to go to work by car, bus or on foot. Finally, if they have any kind of plans they should be informed about the weather conditions because their plans can be ruined by bad weather. So I would say people's activity, dress and type of vehicles they will take depends on weather condition and that is why they should always check the next day's weather. From my experience I can say that people do not do that, often suffer and regret a lot.
Q. What is the best way to get accurate information about the weather?
Answer: I would say that watching the weather forecast on TV or the internet is the best ways to be informed about the weather conditions. But, we should be very careful because the internet can provide inaccurate information so we must be sure that the site we have access is reliable. Apart from that cross checking different TV channels and websites is another good idea to get more accurate weather forecasting.
Q. How easy or difficult is it to predict the weather in your country? Why is that?
Answer: It's really difficult to predict accurate weather condition in my country because the weather in England fluctuates a lot. For example, a few days ago when I woke up at 9 am, the sun was shining and ten minutes later it started raining heavily. Two hours later the wind was blowing and for the rest of the day, the weather was like that. The only thing that is standard is the low temperature in the winter. The weather forecast thus often quite tough and unpredictable in England.
Q.Which months have the best weather in your country?
Answer:Well, I suppose it’s a matter of personal taste really. I like it around the end of October and November, you know, the middle of autumn when there has mild climate, very agreeable weather. I’m not fond of scorching days we often get during the summer and it’s not freezing cold during these months yet, we still get lots of sunny spells. It’s kind of nice.
雅思口语Part3话题范文:newly-opened shop
1.Which is the most popular place for shopping in your home-town?
Answer: Actually, there are many places in my town which are famous for shopping. They are well-known for different reasons. For instance, Rajpur Road is famous for various brands outlets and designer wear shops whereas Paltan Market and Indira market are the places which are popular among the crowd for the affordability and vast collection of clothes along with essential commodities. Cannaught Place is known for high tech electronic gadgets such as mobiles and computers etc.
2.Why do you think people like to visit shopping centers?
I think it brings a lot of benefits for the people when they visit a shopping center because in the big shopping malls, different types of products are available at one place itself. You can find almost all types of brands in the same place and thus, it becomes very easy for you to choose the right one. Apart from this, you get many discount offers and shopping vouchers to choose from, which are not even available in the market. So, these are some of the reasons why people visit shopping centers. - See more at: http://app.ieltsninja.com/tips/recent-ielts-speaking-part-3-shopping/#sthash.ZaK6XxQ9.dpuf
3.Do you like shopping on the internet?
Answer A: Absolutely! I love to shop on the internet because online shopping offers many advantages over traditional shopping. First and foremost, some online stores have amazing collections for every age group. Secondly, we can buy anything through the net without going to crowded marketplaces and it’s a hustle free process. Thirdly, return policies have made it more attractive. Last but not the least, these stores have competitive prices for leading brands.
Answer B: Well, I am not very fond of online shopping. And the reason behind this is my poor experience. Most of the products which I bought through the internet were defective and duplicate. My credit card information was also misused. So, I always prefer traditional shopping over the internet.
4.Are there certain kinds of shops that are becoming more popular?
Well, I suppose shops that sell computers and computer games and also those that sell mobile phones. There seem to be more and more of them opening up. I suppose it’s not surprising. But I find these shops rather boring personally.
5.What disadvantages do you think there may be to an increase in consumerism?
For me, one of the main disadvantages is that increased consumerism seems to emphasise the difference between rich and poor people. Also another disadvantage is that many people already work too hard and with the increasing consumerism they drive themselves harder and harder just to make money to buy things they don’t actually need, or have time to enjoy.
6.In what ways do you think advertising affects people's attitudes?
The more advertising there is, the more people seem to want. And they never satisfied with what they’ve got. I suppose it’s really depends what you mean by advertising. Some of it could be seen as socially useful. For example, anti-smoking advertising campaigns.
7.In what ways do you think shopping may change in the future?
Well, I’m sure there will be an increasing online shopping, because more and more people have access to home computers. I also think that many small shops in the centre of town will close down, and bigger and bigger supermarkets will open on the outskirts. In some ways it may be more convenient, but I don’t know if these changes will really improve our lives.
